Like I said, I think it's a combination of things with no one simple answer. Changing social media platforms that allow very quick spread of information, (i.e. it's super easy to forward things without giving them a thorough read through or much thought) a fading in popularity of attitudes like YKINMK, a spotlight on social issues in mainstream culture that makes call out culture more widely acceptable - and frequently misused, an increase in torch and pitchfork attitudes where people can win internet points by tearing others apart for even small errors, etc. etc. etc.

Do I think people in general have gotten worse? Not in essentials. But I think it's easier for people to be very vocal about what are occasionally awful, jerky opinions and that can lead to a feeling of camaraderie and safety for other jerks to also be very vocal about their equally awful opinions. So overall, I can easily see how that has the potential to change fandom culture.
